The bullet was fired from the muzzle and flew towards Leonardo.
However, the next second Leonardo's body suddenly crouched down, dodging the incoming bullets, which instead struck a thug who had come to sell stolen goods behind him.
"Ah!"
After a scream, the thug collapsed to the ground.
Roman's eyes widened at the sight; Leonardo's speed had been incredible.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Roman lowered the muzzle and quickly pulled the trigger again, this time emptying the entire magazine until it could no longer fire.
However, the result shocked Roman once again. Not only did the magazine run out without injuring the other party, but it also allowed Leonardo to walk up to him.
"Pfft!"
The Butterfly Knife pierced Roman's throat, ending his life instantly.
Meanwhile, chaos erupted inside the Warehouse as several gang members picked up their weapons and began killing each other.
"No, stop now."
"It wasn't me, it wasn't me!"
"You bastard, how dare you lay a hand on me!"
"My body is out of my control! There's Shrine Maiden here!"
"This woman is Shrine Maiden..."
Ah~
After a period of chaos, everyone in the Warehouse except Leonardo died in a fight among themselves.
Leonardo stared in horror at Chiyo, who was smiling at him from the doorway, and shouted, "You're a devil, a devil..."
Chiyo went to Roman's table, took the LV handbag out of the bag, and then looked at Leonardo, asking, "Where's the stuff in the bag?"
Leonardo's face was filled with disbelief, and he said with a hint of anger, "You Carnage us all for this bag."
Chiyo controlled Leonardo's right hand and plunged the Butterfly Knife directly into her own right leg.
Ah~
A scream rang out, and Leonardo, in pain, lost all his previous anger, feeling only fear.
"I'm asking you one more time, where are the things in your bag?"
Leonardo said tremblingly, "The bag was full of women's cosmetics, which I threw away."
Chiyo glanced at the other person and said calmly, "Then you're useless now."
No~
Then Leonardo pulled the Butterfly Knife from his right leg and slit his own throat.
Chiyo glanced at Leonardo, who had collapsed and was slowly dying, then turned and left the Warehouse, muttering to herself:
"Looks like we'll need to find someone to return this bag to that little girl Hope tomorrow."

On the other side.
Inside Hydra's secret base.
Pierce Alexander appeared among them, and he spoke:
"How are preparations for the attack on Wakanda going?"
At this moment, a Hydra member bowed his head and replied, "Boss, as you instructed, we have hired three mercenary groups, mobilizing a total of over a thousand armed forces to attack Wakanda's capital."
"These mercenaries will be carrying a large number of heavy weapons and will launch a coordinated attack tomorrow."
"In addition, we have also dispatched a considerable number of soldiers, who will launch an attack at a unified time tomorrow."
Sitwell looked at Pierce and said, "Chief, Wakanda has already handed over all its Vibranium. Is it really worth it to spend so much to attack such a backward third-world country?"
Pierce looked at Sitwell and said, "Wakanda definitely has secrets we don't know."
"During the last attack, the three Winter Soldier we sent also died at their hands. That place is definitely not simple."
Sitwell, however, did not think so. The Winter Soldier was indeed very powerful, but his strength was only so-so. He was no match for those who used Physical Enhancement Serum, and he would die if hit head-on by a shell.
"Wouldn't such an attack attract the attention of other countries or forces?"
Pierce shook his head. "This time I awakened nine Winter Soldiers to join this mission."
"One of the objectives was to ensure that no unexpected events occurred during the battle, and another was to investigate the true cause of the Winter Soldier's death in the last mission."
"Furthermore, it's a backward third-party country, located in Africa, where war is commonplace and nobody will pay attention. As long as we move fast enough, there won't be any problems."
"We don't need to conquer that country. We just need to capture their capital, find out why we failed last time, and eliminate that royal family."
"No one who kills us after refusing Hydra can escape unscathed."
Upon hearing that the leader had made arrangements, Sitwell nodded without saying anything more.
Pierce looked at Sitwell and asked, "Has Nick Fury assigned you any tasks lately?"
Sitwell nodded and said, "A pair of master thieves, a male and female, have appeared in Allentown, Pennsylvania. They've repaired an unrecovered Alien Weapon."
"The S.H.I.E.L.D. point is that things that S. H. I. E. L. D. can't use yet are now usable by this pair of notorious thieves."
"In just ten days, they have committed five robberies in various places."
"The bureau assigned me to handle this matter, to retrieve the weapon, and to absolutely take down that scoundrel couple."
"I'll be heading to South Florida after the meeting ends."
Upon hearing that the other party could use weapons left behind by the Chitauri, Pierce became interested and said, "Save their lives if possible. I think such talents need to join S.H.I.E.L.D.. and shine."
Sitwell laughed and said, "Chief, I think so too."

The next day.
Hope van Dyne, who had arrived at Pym Technologies early in the morning, was greeted by the administrative receptionist as soon as he entered the company.
"Good morning, Chairman. Here is a package for you."
Hope van Dyne stopped and looked at the front desk, asking, "What delivery?"
"It looks like a bag."
"Let me see it."
"Yes, Chairman."
Hope van Dyne took the package from the front desk, opened the top packaging to reveal the contents inside.
Hope van Dyne stared at the sight of a limited-edition LV handbag for a moment, then examined it closely and confirmed it was the bag that had been stolen from her the day before.
Hope van Dyne looked at the reception desk and asked, "Do you know who sent it?"
"I don't know, it was delivered by a courier early this morning."
Hope van Dyne nodded and instructed, "Check the tracking number and find out where it came from."
"Send the information to my office after you find it."
"Yes, Director."
Hope van Dyne, carrying a handbag, entered his office.
Upon entering the office, Hope van Dyne set the bag aside and began to ponder why this item had been delivered.
There were no Business Card in her bag, so it was clear that the robber wouldn't have kindly returned the bag, nor would he have known it belonged to her.
At this moment, Hope van Dyne thought of the old woman he had seen off yesterday, Elder Chiyo.
Yesterday, she took the old woman to the Sunagakure Puppet Shop. Perhaps the Elder Chiyo, Hope van Dyne couldn't think of anyone else who would help her find the bag. Moreover, she had told the old woman on the way yesterday that she worked at Pym Technologies, but she didn't say what her position was.
It's just a mystery how Elder Chiyo managed to persuade the ninja at the Sunagakure Puppet Shop to do this; she must have begged them for a long time before they agreed.
Hope van Dyne came up with this reason, but she couldn't imagine how Elder Chiyo got the other party's help.
It seems I'll have to thank this old lady sometime; she's such a kind old woman.
Just as Hope van Dyne was pondering this, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
Upon recognizing his secretary, Hope van Dyne nodded and asked, "What is it?"
The secretary was holding a note with an address and phone number written on it.
"The girl at the administrative reception desk said, 'This is the information you just requested.'"
Hope van Dyne picked up the note and glanced at it: Brooklyn Avenue Sunagakure Puppet Shop, phone: 001-212-446-XXXX.
Upon seeing the address, Hope van Dyne nodded to himself; it was indeed close to what he had expected.
"Okay, I understand."
After putting away the sticky notes, Hope van Dyne began her workday.
